Save the Date!Fourteenth Annual ACE Mentor Awards Program

The ACE Mentor Program of Maryland’s Eastern Shore helps students learn about career opportunities in architecture, construction management, and engineering, while also providing mentoring and scholarships for those interested in pursuing these careers. For the 2015-2016 school year we presented over $27,000 in scholarships between both the Talbot County location and the Wicomico County location.

Program participants come from local public and private high schools. When recruiting, we make a special effort to reach those who are traditionally under-represented in our industry, such as women and minorities, as well as those who may be unaware of careers in the design and construction professions.

Throughout the 18 session program, we introduce these students to the building industry’s career potential by having them work as part of a collaborative team under the mentorship of an industry professional to plan and design a “Mock” project on a real site. The program concludes with presentations that simulate the ones professionals deliver to their clients.

Our Team Projects

Our teams are currently working on a variety of imaginative and exiting projects. These include repurposing an old Black & Decker building to be a new research hospital, designing a park at Easton Point, designing an activity center for the Town of St. Michaels, and repurposing of a historical structure in the Salisbury City Park.

Guided by mentors from local building industry professional firms, the teams created site plans, architectural and engineering designs, sketches and working drawings, conceptual models, and other materials required to clearly visualize and present their ideas.
